The Rolling Stones are reportedly not allowing the BBC to air their full Glastonbury performance.

According to The Independent, the broadcaster has held "top-level discussions" with Sir Mick Jagger after the 'Paint It Black' band only permitted their four opening songs at the festival to be shown on TV.

A source said: "Mick agreed to do Glastonbury for the fans who are there, he didn't sign up for a TV show. It's not about money. This show will go around the world.

"If there's torrential rain it will play havoc with their performance and they want to sound and look at their best. There's a lot of factors out of their control."

Meanwhile, the BBC's head of music television Mark Cooper added: "We are having an ongoing discussion with the Stones. I'm talking to Mick about it. At this point I'm quite optimistic we'll get a sufficient amount of music."
